#MountainDreamTarot

 “The Mountain Dream Tarot came to me in a dream in the summer of 1970. The decision to assemble a photographic set of cards was made in my sleep. I began the next morning at Penland School in North Carolina. I chose models who suited the cards and after reading the card's description we took a walk to find the right place to make the picture ... I based my imagery on the classic Pictorial Key to the Tarot by Arthur Waite. My cards are an intuitive, not a literal interpretation of the deck.” – Bea Nettles from the original 1975 introduction.

Bea Nettles (b. 1946) is a photographer and writer known for experimenting with alternative photographic processes. In 1975, Nettles created a set of monochrome photographic tarot cards to foretell the future. The Fine Arts Library owns the third edition of these tarot cards. You can request this set and other tarot card decks in the Special Collections Study Room!

Two of Swords, Mountain Dream Tarot

0. The Fool. The Void. ..."With light step, as if earth and its trammels had little power to restrain him, a young man in gorgeous vestments pauses at the brink of a precipice among the great heights of the world; he surveys the blue distance before him - its expanse of sky rather than the prospect below." - A. E. Waite. We are all fools. #mountaindreamtarot #waite #tarot #beanettles #aprilfools (at Tarot Society Gallery & Reading Room)

Considering the wisdom of keeping our hearts guarded, and the courage to follow what feels true anyway. Keeping the Three of Swords and The Star close for a while.

WEATHER REPORT - SEVEN OF SWORDS. I think the recurring theme this month has been uncovering what is hidden, and the Seven of Swords is an interesting way to wrap that up! Ask yourself today, what are you hiding? What's going on under the surface, under the busyness and distractions of your day-to-day life? You don't have to go public with your revelations, but that doesn't mean you should be hiding things from yourself! Ask yourself today, what's really going on here? You might be surprised by what you find! #tarot #tarotoftheday #cardoftheday #tarotcards #tarotreadings #esoteric #newage #occult #mountaindreamtarot #beanettles #blueridgemountains #professionaltarot #twosidestarot #vscocam

WEATHER REPORT - QUEEN OF SWORDS. Did you uncover any new knowledge yesterday, reflecting with the Two of Swords? The Queen of Swords seems to think you might have! She is all about embodying knowledge, grounding new ways of thinking and operating in your body and in the world. You may have found yesterday's deep discovery a little uncomfortable, which is perfectly normal. The Queen says, take today to sit with your new learning, to give it a little space, and to begin to integrate it into yourself and your life. The Queen of Swords can seem a little remote or cold at times, but when it comes to this kind of deep self-discovery, to coming to truly know yourself, she's the expert. She knows who she is, she takes the good and the bad, and makes no apologies. Follow her lead today, and own what you have learned. Embody it. Live it! #tarot #tarotoftheday #cardoftheday #tarotcards #tarotreadings #esoteric #newage #occult #mountaindreamtarot #beanettles #blueridgemountains #professionaltarot #twosidestarot #vscocam

WEATHER REPORT - TWO OF SWORDS. This card has come up three times in the last couple of weeks, and that's always a sign we need to pay attention! There's a lesson to be learned here, and we haven't quite got it yet. The Two of Swords tells us there's something we're not seeing. Some detail, a belief, a memory, a way of thinking or acting that is blocking us from having the realisation we need to have. Perhaps recognising the cause of the blockage is the realisation. I'm going to do some serious pondering on this today, and I recommend you join me! Why are we being kept where we are? Why are we keeping ourselves here? What is the key? What do we need to discover or learn from this place? #tarot #tarotoftheday #cardoftheday #tarotcards #tarotreadings #esoteric #newage #occult #mountaindreamtarot #beanettles #blueridgemountains #professionaltarot #twosidestarot #vscocam

WEATHER REPORT - THREE OF SWORDS. Let's focus on kindness today. There are a whole bunch of hurts in the world, big and small, and we can't always prevent ourselves or others from feeling pain. It's a part of life, and acceptance is more helpful than trying to prevent or avoid all painful experiences or feelings. Ain't gonna happen! What we can do, though, is help with healing. Today, be gentle with yourself, and with the people around you. Replace an angry thought or word with a kind one. Forgive someone. Forgive yourself. Tread lightly through your day, and try to help someone else do the same. Let's help each other to release those swords and move on! #tarot #tarotoftheday #cardoftheday #tarotcards #tarotreadings #esoteric #newage #occult #mountaindreamtarot #beanettles #blueridgemountains #professionaltarot #twosidestarot #vscocam

WEATHER REPORT - KING OF WANDS. What are you bringing into the world today? The King of Wands has enormous power to manifest his vision - he merely has to have an idea and before he knows it, it has come to fruition. We can borrow some of that awesome power today and get our ideas and dreams and plans moving in the world. Be careful that you are using your powers for good! What do you want to manifest, for yourself and for others? What kind of world do you want to create? Your words and actions have weight today, so choose them wisely! #tarot #tarotoftheday #cardoftheday #tarotcards #tarotreadings #esoteric #newage #occult #mountaindreamtarot #beanettles #blueridgemountains #professionaltarot #twosidestarot #vscocam

WEATHER REPORT - NINE OF CUPS. Let the joyful drunken singing begin! Well, not quite - its 8:30am where I am so I won't be raising a glass just yet! But that doesn't mean we can't take a little goofy joy in the day. Life is good, people, even when it's weird and hard and challenging. There's always something to be grateful for, no matter how small. Let yourself be light today, let yourself be silly and giddy and have a little fun. Your cups are full! #tarot #tarotoftheday #cardoftheday #tarotcards #tarotreadings #esoteric #newage #occult #mountaindreamtarot #beanettles #blueridgemountains #professionaltarot #twosidestarot #vscocam

WEATHER REPORT - KNIGHT OF PENTACLES. Yesterday we talked about backing up our dreams with planning and action. Today, it's time to follow through on the practical stuff! The Knight of Pentacles says that sometimes we need to get our heads out of the clouds and give the little things, the mundane stuff, the to-do lists and budgets and pesky loose ends, some attention. Don't expect huge breakthroughs today, rather, pour your energy into that slow and steady work. It's all about maintaining your foundation, taking the next step, and making just a little steady progress! #tarot #tarotoftheday #cardoftheday #tarotcards #tarotreadings #esoteric #newage #occult #mountaindreamtarot #beanettles #blueridgemountains #professionaltarot #twosidestarot #vscocam
